What type of pasta is best for making cold pasta with gazpacho?
Spaghetti works really well because it soaks up the gazpacho easily, although you can also use short pasta, such as fusilli, penne, or farfalle. The important thing is to cook it al dente so that it retains a pleasant texture once chilled.
Do you have to cool the pasta before mixing it with the gazpacho?
Yes. In this recipe, it's best to cool the water after cooking to stop the heat and prevent it from warming the gazpacho. Then, drain it very well so that the excess water doesn't dilute the sauce.
Can I use store-bought gazpacho?
Yes. It's one of the quickest ways to prepare this recipe. It's best to choose a well-balanced gazpacho, with a good tomato flavor and not too runny, as it will serve as the main sauce for the dish. Of course, you can also use...
Can this cold pasta with gazpacho be prepared in advance?
Yes, although it's best freshly mixed. You can cook and cool the pasta a few hours in advance and keep it in the refrigerator (with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking), leaving the gazpacho, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil to be added just before serving.
How can I make a vegan version of this cold pasta?
Simply omit the feta cheese or substitute it with a plant-based alternative. Also, check that the pasta and gazpacho you use are suitable for a vegan diet.
What other ingredients go well with pasta and gazpacho?
Cucumber, olives, avocado, red onion, bell pepper, hard-boiled egg, or nuts can all work very well. It's best not to add too many ingredients so that the gazpacho remains the star.
